Yes, George Carlin is here with more of what he did better than any other comic: uproarious observations, laser-targeted crankiness, linguistic legerdemain, and inspired weirdness. ("If the shoe fits, get another just like it." "When you sneeze, all the numbers in your head go up by one.") Napalm & Silly Putty is just what his fans have been waiting for—another generous helping of notions, nonsense, assertions, assumptions, mockery, merriment, silliness, sarcasm, and, to be sure, plenty of disturbing references and toxic alienation.

The audiobook experience was much better than reading it.
The narration and delivery is much more important than the content itself. This was quite obvious in this book. I found it a little difficult to finish reading the physical copy, but the audiobook was completely different. His manner of presenting the content makes all the difference. Great content and even better performance. Highly recommended for any fan of Carlin’s.

Carlin does it better than your favorite comedian
There is a reason why comedians of this age hold him in such high regard. The profanity, although expected, may come off a bit excessive. Angry, relevant, poignant and insightful. This is one book that you will have to repeat to grab every nuance.

Amazing work
Narrated by George Carlin himself. Great performance. Big time fan of him. A little heads up though: if you have seen some of his performances before, I am afraid you are going to find same jokes. Still funny though.

If you like the Carlin of late...
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
George Carlin went through an very noticeable evolution as a comic. The comic in his latter days is the comic of this book. If you remember him as the Hippy Dippy Weatherman, then this is not the same comic. Brain Droppings is a book of comic observations of the stupid things humans do and say and Carlin has no sympathy for us a a species.
What about George Carlin’s performance did you like?
Carlin performs the reading of the book with the same style and well practiced performance that you would see when attending a live standup performance.(Which I was lucky enough to experience once.) The show I saw live was repeated verbatim a few months later on HBO.

Kratchety Uncle George
Would you listen to Brain Droppings again? Why?
i listen again and again. i share his raunchy sense of humor.
What other book might you compare Brain Droppings to and why?
Napalm & Silly Putty I & 2. He has a great balance between 'righteous ranting' and 'raunchy humor'. George was a genius. i miss him.

Disappointing
I have always found Carlin's political and social commentary very insightful and extremely funny. Unfortunately I had to give up on this book as it is just grumblings about modern life. Save your money and turn on a day time talk radio call in.

if you know his comedy this will give you an insight into the way he likes to think. he loves playing around with odd words and phrases.
